If I had one word to describe my experience with Xenoblade Chronicles it would be tedious. The combat is basically going through a menu and pressing the A button, then waiting until the cooldown is gone and repeating. The enemies take forever to kill, even on lower difficulty, and there is no skill involved at all, it's basically just a stat check. Also, enemies look different, but everyone plays exactly the same from start to finish. The story is mediocre at best and plain stupid at worst. The only positive sides to this that I found are the music (which is by far the best part of the game) and that it isn't as anime-like as Xenoblade 2.
